Interactions between the tonic and cyclic postural motor programs in the crayfish abdomen (original) (raw)

1988, Journal of Comparative Physiology A

Abstract

** To whom offprint requests should be sent presumably may form the basis of switching from one behavior to the other. We conclude, therefore, that each behavioral subsystem relies upon its own unique set ofpremotor interneurons. Finally, those interneurons contributing to the cyclic motor pattern have not yet been identified.
